I'm going to be taking out my McLeod Street Twin and going to a stock setup. Who makes a good street clutch that can live behind 450HP+? What parts have you guys had good luck with?

I will be driving the Vette daily for the foreseeable future so something a bit more streetable is what I'm after.

I did the same thing after breaking my rear end half a dozen times with the McLeod twin.

I ended up going with a dual friction centerforce and a steel flywheel (my Mcleod was aluminum) and it's held up great. The clutch drives pretty nice (90% or so of stock) and has held up well to 4000+ RPM clutch drops on slicks with the nitrous flowing. I also haven't broken anything in the rear since I went to this clutch, the hit is so much softer, more like a stock set up, it cushions the parts enough to let them live under the abuse.

I don't make quite as much power as you do, but I probably make more torque than you when I spray (about 590 RWTQ) so I think the Center Force would work well for you. It's bit pricey ($1100 or so for the clutch and flywheel) but it's worked well for me so far.

Let us know what you decide to do.

Thanks for the reply. How much transmission noise do you get with the clutch pedal released in neutral? What about during acceleration? I have a pretty choppy idle, so I know that is aggravating the situation, but I'm hoping I can tune some of that out. However that doesn't address that acceleration clatter.

How much does your steel flywheel weigh?
